Nobody hold their breathe for these. I am sure it will be the middle of January before I can even get a quote for having them cast. Whether I have them made or not will depend on the cost and how many parts I would have to make.

My initial thinking is that I will do a relatively small run, maybe 50 pieces. Kind of make them a bit more exclusive for those that pony up the bucks for one. We will see.

Stay tuned.....try not to pass out from holding your breathe too long...

Because the part is not flat on one side, they might like
to have a follower, or support, so they can do a False Cope.http://www.foundry.ray-vin.com/follower/follower.htm
That would make it much quicker/easier to get an even parting line.
Should also lower the price.

If you have to make any changes, ask what color(s) it should be painted.

Made it to the foundry this afternoon. Things look promising. Fred is going to try a couple of casts. There are a few questionable areas regarding the draft and how I assembled it. Assuming he is successful next week, I will get a quote for the tooling and casting of 50 parts and go from there.

Stay tuned....

I am also going to be cutting another set of parts out and making another pattern with a little bit different design of the gear cogs and a different font.
